Nashville star Chris Carmack preps to re-enter the arena in a new video shared on Instagram ahead of the show's reunion tour. The TV show, which aired first on ABC for four seasons and CMT for two more from 2012 to 2018, spawned successful careers for multiple actor-musicians depicting fictional characters dealing with the real-life ins-and-outs of Tennessee's country music scene and balancing family, artistic struggle, and personal relationships. American Horror Story's Connie Britton and Scream 6's Hayden Panettiere led the star-studded Nashville cast alongside Clare Bowen, Eric Close, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio, among others.

Just over five years after the show came to an end, Palladio and Will Lexington actor Chris Carmack have shared a joint Instagram video announcing the latter's involvement in the Nashville concert reunion.

The humorous video, as seen above, finds the Gunnar actor Palladio calling a haggard Carmack about the concert and inviting him to join his former co-stars. The actor must be persuaded to get off his couch and return to his place in the concert spotlight, with Palladio reminding Carmack of the success he had as Will and encouraging Carmack him to truck on, resulting in a major makeover.

New Tour Marks The First Time Nashville's Stars Play Together In 5 Years

The last concert tour for the show wrapped in March 2018 as a lead-in to its final season. Nashville's gripping stories, beloved characters, and stellar music spawned international acclaim and sold out shows at concert halls. In the vein of a Monkees-esque transformation from screen to stage, the upcoming reunion tour will see the first time the cast has played together since their farewell show at the Grand Ole Opry, appropriately in the show's title city.

Each of the players has progressed in their own individual rights since Nashville ended, including actor Will Chase, who most recently appeared in Tom Holland's divisive Apple TV+ show The Crowded Room, and then-newcomer Odessa A'zion, who later starred in 2022's Hellraiser. The show served as a launchpad for new talent, and the reunion of the stars half a decade later is already proving to be another exciting venture for the passionate fans of the show who helped petition its survival when CMT picked it up.

With the first performance kicking off in Chicago on September 23, the Nashville reunion concert tour will see Bowen, Esten, Jackson, and Palladio take stage to sing some of the tunes from the show, as well as new material from each of the artists, with Carmack now joining for the initial show. The remaining foursome will then travel across the United States and the United Kingdom throughout the year, doing what they do best, singing and playing music together.
